Hey everyone,

Just wondering how everyone is doing and been doing this summer? I've been in Minnesota since August 28th, and plan on going back to Montana next week.

Here in Minnesota, I've gone to Itasca Lake, which is the headwaters of the Mississippi River, then later went down parts of the river itself. I've also built a whole new PC, super fast. Pretty cool. Nothing really exciting except for that, but hopefully stuff will pick up soon.

So, how about you?

To be honest, sitting around and playing PSO/MGS or on the computer, sometimes with friends.

Although there was a party at the beginning of summer and I did to something for the 4th... Saw Land of the Dead with a friend a couple days ago.

Other than that there's the odd sleepover here and there.

Pretty boring. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Working every weekend... Summer school... A few movies (Batman Begins, Fantastic 4, Howl's Moving Castle tonight)... Surfing the net/browsing message boards... A bit of a PSO comeback for a week or so, kind of subsiding... A bit of tennis here and there... Drawing where ever I can fit it... Super Smash Brothers Melee and Armored Core: Nexus with friends...

Had a very wierd summer so far. Mostly Ive been at work, trying to fathom the sanity and hygiene of a fair amount of customers. Ive also been trying to crack on with my Third Year Univeristy Project, that has sadly yielded little success. I fear my muse itself has gone on holiday, sunning herself up on some beach while I work. Damn muse.

Been going to the Rock Clubs at weekends a lot and getting wierded out by the Gimps. I really dont get the spikey leather thing, but whatever they enjoy.

Watched several Animes all the way through, Louie the Rune Soldier being one of them (I wish they would make a second season http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif). Also been trying to work out Azu Manga Daioh, enjoying PlanetES and praising the high beings that Transformers Galaxy Force has an intelligent story and script and isnt pure Toy Fodder.

And thats been it. Going home again to terrorise Kizaragu next week and meet my other old friends, so im looking forward to that.

Exams. And I may have one more exam next week, it all depends on the grade I get on one of the ones I did.

The beach is calling out for me, and so are those days of practicing a good sport. But work comes first, unfortunately or not.

I've only been doing two things really, working and riding my new motorcycle. I really don't need much more http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Although if I didn't buy the bike I could've quit my job and been a bum. Oh well, the bike is more fun.

Summer job currently, have been for the past few weeks as well.

Also seems we'll be taking a trip to Japan for about a week and a half in mid August. Had to expedite the passport stuff because we had gotten lazy in the planning department.

Also may visit some certain PSOW members during a convention in late August after we return. Fun fun.

I've been working with my new job with the USPS (United States Postal Service), and I'm kinda enjoying it, the pay is pretty nice, imo, but I'm probably going to be wishing for more money later on, but I can move up in the ranks later on.

Currently I've been trying to beat some video games, hanging out with my friends, but one thing... one goal, is to try to complete my PSO comic and get it out of my head once and for all. Heck ALL the comics. I need assistants. >.<

3. Have been getting ready for Band Camp.
4. Went to Six Flags.
5. Got a girlfriend.
6. Enjoyed time while brother was away.

Hmm, let's see here:

- Found occasional work at my grandfather's house

- Spent the night at friends' houses probably a total of about 20 times

- Hit level 152 with my HUmar about 3 weeks ago http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif, haven't really had much to do with PSO since

- Currently re-reading all of my Calvin and Hobbes collections *ahem, sig*

- Started back on the 'ol saxaphone; band camp arrives in 16 days http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

- Been procrastinating my U.S. Hist. AP crap all summer

- Watching tv everyday, mostly sports, with some Fuse and MTV2 mixed in.

That's all I can really think of at the moment.

School still isn't over for me. So I lead a really exciting life of doing stuff on weekends and feeling anxious about it with ongoing, incomplete projects. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

With this summer, I found I am official half way through high school... that means I have 15 credits. That means, I failed one. I've been taking summer school for math for the past week and a half. And only a week and a half left (It's really awesome how short this is)

Other than that, doing random things with my friends. And yesterday, I drove on the street for the first time... nerve racking.

Work at a music store, going to music shows, promoting bros band, downloading music, buying music, getting back into singing, going to movies worth the money, hanging out with friends, playing Socom 2 in preperation for Socom 3, writing here and there, talking to a ms., travelling.

That's about it.

Anyway, good to hear all your stories.

Let's see..

Been hanging out with friends whenever I can. The usual stuff...playing D&D...driving around aimlessly, sitting at each other's houses. Charles still stays at my house ALOT. He's in my closet right now >_>

I've been laying off the drinkin lately. I went to some graduation parties....4 to be exact. And I went to a party at Kyleen's house whom I hadn't seen in 2 years.

Been on the computer alot at night. In fact I can't sleep at night anymore. I find myself up till 8am...sometimes later. Been chatting in Ask A Witch on yahoo with my yahoo friends...it's been pretty interesting

Probably will get a job very very soon. I have court on wednesday and I will probably be fined for underage drinking. I will need a job to pay it off.

Yep...that's my wonderful summer...
